Delma Davis Beach, 81, of Dunbar, went home to be with the Lord, February 11, 2012, after a long illness at the home of Dreama Lenn, with whom she shared a strong mother-daughter bond.

Delma was a Christian and it showed to everyone. She was so loving and kind. She loved to crochet and cross-stitch and give gifts of her work. She was still employed by Putnam Aging until her 81st birthday. She was a great cook and baker and was a hard worker all of her life. Through the years she was active in church, playing piano and singing.

Delma was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Mamie Davis, her brother, Marlin Davis and her husband, Elwood Beach, step-sons, Darrel and David Beach.

Surviving are her brother, Elvin (Sybil) Davis of South Charleston and sisters, Jean Turley of Dunbar and Donis (Woody) Martin of Parkersburg; step-sons, James (Peggy) Beach, D. Joe (Diana) Beach of St. Albans; step-daughters, Virginia McCallister of Winston-Salem, NC and Evelyn Smith of St. Albans. She was a grandmother to 18 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren and 8 great great grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her nieces, nephews, family and friends.

The family is especially thankful to Dreama, Corey, Nick and Autumn Lenn for their unselfish love and care.

Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m., Tuesday, February 14, at Fox Hill Cemetery with the Rev. Gene Pauley officiating.

Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, February 13, at Keller Funeral Home, Dunbar.
